InstructionsVirtue ethics applied under current research conditions
Instructions for:TraineeTrainer
Related Initiative
Goal
This module aims to reflect on the concern that the current research culture may constitute conditions that could undermine a virtue ethics approach, and make it more likely for researchers to develop some vices.
Requirements
This module is part of the VIRT2UE online course and should be taken after completing the first two module: "Introduction of virtue ethics to research integrity" and "Introduction of virtue ethics to research integrity".
You need to have a background in research (i.e. be employed as researchers) or be a trainer/educator/teacher who has had experience in research in the past.Duration (hours)

For whom is this important?
Method
What is this about?
By taking this interactive module you will learn about and reflect on:
- Your experience of cognitive dissonance in a research related context: You will be guided in recognizing the relevance and dynamics of cognitive dissonance[1] within the research process.
- The necessity and risks of applying self-justification strategies: You will be guided and invited to reflect on the self-justification strategies you might use, and the possible unintended consequences they might lead to, like the development of cognitive biases.
- The most relevant breach of research integrity in your discipline and possible self-justification strategies: After identifying the most relevant violation of research integrity in your discipline you will be invited to write different types of self-justification strategies.

What is this about?
This interactive e-learning module supports users in reflecting on possible circumstances that might undermine a good research and and prevent researhers from developing virtues. By taking this modules learners will:
- Reflect on their experience of cognitive dissonance[1] in a research related context. Both in explaining and demonstrating the underlying dynamics and relevance of cognitive dissonance for the research process, learners are likely to experience this psychological discomfort, and reflect upon it.
- Reflect on the necessity and risks of applying self-justification strategies. Both in explaining and demonstrating the underlying dynamics informing the application of self-justification strategies in research, learners are invited to reflect on the self-justification strategies they use, and the possible unintended consequences, like the development of cognitive biases.
- Select the most relevant breach of research integrity in their discipline and invent self-justification strategies. In a two-step exercise, learners are first required to choose the most relevant violation of research integrity in their discipline. Then, they are asked to write different types of self-justification strategies (e.g. denial of responsibility, trivialization) that have previously introduced to them with the example of honorary authorship.

Why is this important?
It is crucial for participants to complete the online course in advance of the face-to-face training in order to acquire a shared understanding of the program’s core concepts.
